I definitely believe your opinion as a native Chinese should be valued more than any rambling from stupid Belgians
It was an honest mistake.
I wouldn't say "stupid Belgian" either considering it was a Belgian in the first place
who I consider one of the few famous Western figures to actually "get" Chinese culture and understand where it comes from.
He's known for this famous comic album:
It's definitely offensive and dated in the parts with the depictions of the Japanese
but it offered one of the first contemporary humanizing depictions of the Chinese in the Western world (Apart from Pearl S. Buck)
during a time when Sax Rohmers and Jack Londons the world over painted the Chinese as people to be exterminated or exploited
and the viewpoint was relatively mainstream.
Anyways, on topic, I recall skimming and seeing that mythological figures would be accepted for Polynesian GPs.
I think within this section, we should make some compromises with the existing rules and try this:
-We can include mythological figures, but they should at least be plausible and be reviewed. I would prefer not to see any of the Atua as Polynesian GPs.
-Make an exception for Polynesian Great People who are naturalized citizens of other countries.
What do you all think?
